My Practice & Services
I help with building executive functioning skills: I work with you to develop time managment, organization, planning, and task initiation skills encouraging your personal style and approach.
I also focus with overwhelm and burnout. I use body-based and cognitive skills to support you when feeling overwhemed.
Let's also work with overcoming procrastination and paralysis, by unpacking the emotional roots of avoidance and create steps to get unstuck.
Next, we reframe negative self-talk and shame. It is hard to unlearn years of negative self-thoughts about being "productive" and all the "shoulds."
And then finally, let's find your strengths in work life, and personal lfe. Focusing on your cognitive strengths and setting realistic boundaries in work and your personal life. I am here to collaborate and work with you today!
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
If you struggle to start tasks or feel paralyzed by long to-do lists, I will work with you to build strategies that do not rely on willpower alone.
If you experience emotiional dysregulation and feeling overwhelmed, we will work on grounding techniques and how best to pace your energy.
When you feel behind trying your best, we will work to simplify your tools and focus on self-compassion over perfectionism.
Then, if you have been diagnosed with ADHD later in life, let's process that information and create your roadmap forward!
